An assisted living home for 96 elderly residents is expected to open this fall at the corner of West Washington Street and Franklin Street, near the Ridder Country Club.

Construction begin in December on All American Assisted Living -- an affiliate of Kaplan Development Group. It will have 48 two-bedroom units, including eight for people with Alzheimer’s or other memory loss.

Rooms will be $3,300 in the assisted living area and $4,500 in the Alzheimer’s unit.

It will cost just under $10 million to build the home on one acre.

The ground floor -- which will mainly be used for common space -- includes a bistro, dining area, television room and an area for residents to do arts and crafts and paint. There are numerous outdoor patio areas on different sides of the ground floor.

Seth Dudley, Kaplan's vice president of sales and marketing, said that the hallways and building is designed to be small, so residents won't feel isolated in any area of the building.

"You're basically walking out of the apartment into the living and dining area, so you get that sense of community and friendship," Dudley said.
